If we fall down We pick ourselves up If we get a chance Next time won’t be so rough Daddy lost jobs Mama lost hope Daddy kept drinking Mama couldn’t cope If we face fear We face it together If we figure it out We pull back the trigger Daddy got mean Mama got lost Daddy never dreamed Mama paid the cost Children are born To fill unknown space Then they drift away Into race after race Some never look back Sign after sign Change the conversation Time after time If we lose the fight We come back strong If we make it work We forget where we belong Daddy quit caring Mama died of grief Daddy remarried soon Mama found her peace If we lose it all We learned to not ask why So when nothing matters We don’t have to say goodbye
